Frequently Asked Questions

 What will my ORGANIC gear look like?

ORGANIC Climbing Products in which you can choose colors are made one of a kind by recycling our cutting scraps in your choice of colors to build your items multi color arrangement, this allows us to offer unique artistic hand made items, recycle our fabric scraps and ensures production flow and economics for customer. Please note we are not able to guarantee designs without custom charges and email communication prior to placing order.

How long will my order take?

All of our gear is made to order per your color request. After you order we will begin cutting and sewing at once, standard orders cut and sew in 1-2 weeks from date of payment. If you are need of the item quicker please send us an email to orders@organicclimbing.com and we can get a quote for expedited shipping for you right away.  Please note CUSTOM orders can take up to 6-8 weeks for sewing we will provide timeline during initial quote. 

Color Swatches and Color Matching?   

We do the very best we can to display the colors available in our online color tiles. Please note however that these can vary slightly by computer screen and we do not guarantee their accuracy on screens so please use them for general color guidance only. Unlike graphic design on computers or Paint, Heavy duty Textiles are not an exact science and while our Cordura Nylon Suppliers are the best in the business each dye lot (batch of fabric they make) can vary slightly. As the months and years go by we purchase alot of fabric from our suppliers and it can vary slightly in shade. While it is to their tolerance it may not be 100 percent identical to a batch months or years ago. Our goal is to make the most durable products possible and slight variance in color will in no way affect the quality or durability of the product.

 How do I request a custom design on my pad?

Please email orders@organicclimbing.com with the pad model you would like, your shipping address and a jpeg or pdf sketch or mock up clearly detailing color requests as well as specific measurements if they are important to the design. We will take a look and be sure it is able to be made as a crash pad, and if so we will get a quote on the custom sewing charges for your order emailed back to you. If the quote works for you we will email over a Custom order form with your order details for you to fill out and pay through our website. Once payment is finalized your order will enter our production calendar. Please note because of the additional requirements for production of custom items production time is 4-6 weeks for custom design, tweaks.
